**Corporal mortification is a valid form of penance.**

And in this case Rome frowns upon it.

I suppose that means you should repent or confess or something.

IIRC, the church officially has condemned such actions as self-crucifixion.

That would mean the individual Catholics are not free to interpret it any other way and to do so would put them in schism with the Catholic church.
